The press has some pretty nasty words for one Jody Bennett. The 37-year-old Pittsburgh man was arrested after allegedly stealing a Game Boy out of the casket of a 17-year-old who died in a car crash on Christmas Day.
Bennett apparently reached into the casket of Bradley McCombs, a family friend, and grabbed a Game Boy and three gaming cartridges from the body of the teen. Police found one of the games on the suspect. The value of the items was listed at $46.90. The system was an outdated model, holding more sentimental value than anything else.
Bennett’s mother called the robbery an “embarrassment,” apologizing to the family, “”My son’s had a drug problem for quite some time, and we’ve more or less alienated ourselves from him.”
Bennett is being held in county jail, having not been able to meet his $15,000 bond.
